this weekend is very much the calm before the storm. well, the calm before finals, anyway. it’s the first one in weeks that i haven’t had to write a paper, and aside from catching up on some reading, my workload is deceptively light. there’s only one week of classes left - surely i should be busier than this?

of course, the idea is to give us some time to start studying for finals, but come on now - that’s what reading day is for. (at columbia, it’s reading week, but apparently nyu students need only one day.)

but so i’d set aside most of this weekend as emma’s weekend to relax. to take a deep breath, as it were, before finals. unfortunately, my body has been making me relax, but not in an ice-cream-for-breakfast kind of way - i have tonsilitis, yet again. right - that wasn’t smoker voice i noticed yesterday, it was a sneak peek at things to come from my bastard tonsils. i’ll rip you fuckers out as soon as this semester’s over, don’t think i won’t.

so yesterday was spent in bed, for the most part, with a serious quantity of soup and a new bag of halls. i suspect today will follow a similar pattern. may i have a new throat, please? i broke mine.
